I've been driving a Highlander for several years, so I'm quite familiar with opening the rear glass. Usually, there's a trunk button on the key fob—press it once to unlock the entire tailgate. If you want to open just the glass portion, hold that button for about two seconds until you hear a 'click' and it pops open. I often use this feature in supermarket parking spots—it's handy for loading small items without having to lift the entire tailgate and inconvenience others. The key is that the vehicle must be unlocked; if it doesn't work, try looking for the electronic button on the center dashboard. Another tip: avoid operating it on a slope—the glass is heavy and can get out of control. On rainy days, crack it open just enough to slip a bag in, then close it immediately to prevent water from getting inside. Make it a habit to regularly check the button's responsiveness to avoid it jamming at critical moments.
As a new SUV owner, I initially didn't know how to open the Highlander's rear glass either, but figured it out after a few tries. The method is simple: First, approach the rear of the vehicle with the remote key, locate the button with the trunk icon, and gently press and hold for 2-3 seconds. The glass will automatically rise slightly, then you can simply pull it up. I love this design - when taking kids out, loading strollers or shopping bags becomes effortless, unlike the hassle of opening the full door. Alternatively, you can operate it via the trunk switch icon on the car's central control panel. Safety tips: Prevent children from reaching inside to avoid pinching injuries, avoid forcefully pushing/pulling the glass to prevent motor wear, and get issues repaired promptly before they escalate.
